To ship your car to Kuwait, you must hire an international auto shipping company.
There are two primary methods of shipping vehicles overseas:
- Roll-on and roll-off service: The vehicle is directly driven or rolled onto the ship and protected by a deck. It is usually the most cost-effective process.
- Container service: This method is the safest way to ship your car. Your auto is placed in a separate container, and it is rolled on to the ship.
When selecting your auto shipper, be sure to:
- Do a background check on your auto shipper and make sure that they are registered with the FMSCA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
- Ask your auto shipper about customs clearance and what you'll need to do to have your vehicle clear customs in the country.
- Ask the auto shipper to provide you with an agent to take care of your vehicle when it arrives at customs in the destination country.
- Make sure you have the appropriate documents, such as a declaration form of Dangerous Goods, a Shipper Export declaration, the original title and registration, etc.
